Rubric and instructions for JTMillerphysics's Rube Goldberg project, and youtube video showing final projects.

this might be a cool project...

Great resource for project based learning

Great website for managing project based learning. 

The assessment items on this website are the result of more than a decade of research and development by Project 2061, a long-term science education reform initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Here you will find free access to more than 600 items. The items:Are appropriate for middle and early high school students.Test student understanding in the earth, life, physical sciences, and the nature of science.Test for common misconceptions as well as correct ideas.

Thanks for sharing this John. Project 2061 has made important strides over the past 15 years. Good to see they offer some items for teachers to use in assessments.

Project Noah is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere.

project physics text. An excellent physics text from 1980

Excellent article about designer of rube goldberg machines. Video is pure gold for introducing a rube goldberg project. 

Thanks for sharing this John! It was so much fun to watch. Bob

has a cool looking case study on Red Bull for macromolecules. plus lots of other case study ideas for mini-research projects for students. includes lab handouts, answer keys, etc.

This looks like an interesting site to include in a project-based approach to teaching. The cases may lend themselves well to interdisciplinary work and more extensive projects that will interest students. Let me know what the CFT can do to help.

Awesome collection of case studies for science teaching. 

An interview with the mathematician and geneticist behind the Human Genome Project and the Broad Institute Really great video describing how lander fell in love with bio. 

This is an amazing video of Gannets diving underwater to hunt for fish. Exploring the physics of this could be a great physics project..

some great ideas for projects and ways of incorporating bioinformatics into the bio curriculum.

interesting physics teaching project from UK

awesome advice on implementing pbl

good library of questions for clickers
